Definition and objective of the system Problem Specifications Design Approach Principle of work Hardware Project milestones covered

Content

This system will count the number of passengers in each bus, find the location of it and find the income of the company by each bus .

Definition

Due to the less trust between the company and the employees in it specially some drivers.

Know the income for each bus.

Location and speed of the bus.

Trips made by each bus

Objectives

The Driver in/out not to be counted. Types of Passengers (extra, cards….etc.). Employees from the company (not to be

counted). Sensors and detectors fault detection and

reporting Someone enter the bus and does not get

out and wants to continue to other station. Loading the bus aisle with boxes and

packages.

Problem Specification

Image Processing RFID (Radio Frequency Identification )

Weight sensor

Digital counter using the Laser beam.

Solutions for the system

Special equipment's(DSP-PIC), Not accurate enough

Image processing

RFID :Not trust for counting , not suitable for all people

Weight :Not accurate , and it is difficult to be done, more hardware

RFID & Weight

Simplicity More Accurate Easy to install in the bus Less hardware equipment Suitable for more features

Digital counting using the laser beam

Comparison according the cost

Counting sensors are installed in doors and passageways.

Data-Loggers receive sensor signals and store the data to memory.

Data transfer devices take your data from the Data-Loggers to the office computer.

Analysis software turns huge amounts of data into useful, usable information.

Principle of work

Principle of work In block diagram

Principle of work

Count algorithm

Principle of work

The controller start checking the changes in the sensors status counting the numbers of passengers in the bus using previous algorithm.

When the doors are closed the controller of the system will decide to send the data if the speed of the bus reaches to specific speed(according to distance with time).

Then send a packet of data to the server

Principle of work Data transfer

The packet will contains Positions where the bus is stopped The number of the passengersAn ID for the busRFID numbers if there

Server will analyze it and there will be software(C# program) to view the data for each bus and the position of it at any sending and count the total income that will be taken from each bus.

Principle of work Server

The Driver (not affect ) Passengers (extra, cards….etc.) .(RFID) Employees from the company.(Keypad) Detector counting will closed directly by

some thing.(closed the bus doors) Throw something to the bus.(The check

sensors) Someone enter the bus and does not get

out and wants to continue to other station.(warning to the driver using Geo fence )

Solution of the Problems in our System

Geo-Fence

The sensors :

Count and check using the laser beam sensor to do the job.

Speed sensor using GPS.(Distance accumulator)

Check the status of the door using limit switch.

Hardware (Cutting edge)

Hardware

The GSM & GPS Telit GM862-GPS

Hardware

Microcontroller

Hardware

The algorithm –has been developed

The code of the PIC for counting and the basic circuit –has been developed and tested

Test the Sensors- –has been tested Some tests have been done on the GSM

module (GM-862 module)

What have we done so far

Interfacing the Telit GSM-GPS module with the microcontroller.

The ability to use GPRS between the microcontroller and the server.

Will install it and in a bus in order to test it .

What to do next????

PIC_C

Image possessing in Matlab

AT_command for Tilet module

Will start learning C# for web application
